How not to play crayon rails
I played British Rails with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
narya last night.
Good: having loads on your train to go to both point A and nearby but further point B.
Bad: getting to point A and drawing a "derailment" card causing you to lose your load to point B.
Worse: twice.
Not so bad: only losing by a £150 in the end.
narya did succeed moderately at the "run jute from Scotland for the big bucks" plot, her classic in British Rails (for Iron Dragon afficionados, this is kind of like winning the game with dragons from Nordkassel). My contracts kept guiding me towards Plymouth and the southwest, and I did succeed in running three contracts for £80 all on one turn without derailing at all. This was probably the highlight of the game for me. Derailing in Barnstaple being a turn away from getting £30 in Plymouth? Not so good.
